If I try connecting to the server with my mail client, I get no reply(positive nor negative; Sylpheed is uninformative that way). However, it seems like sendmail's trying to to its work: > > Sep 12 21:02:59 myhostname sm-mta[22959]: h8CBWwMc020830: SYSERR(root): Could not connect to socket /var/imap/socket/lmtp: Connection refused by localhost > > There was a defaulted setting in /etc/hosts.allow about not allowing other daemons to accept connections - I think - but I removed that. Still not much happening, and imtest still doesn't work, either. sm-mta(different PID each time) is still getting that error. > > imapd.log is empty. > > Is it not enough in this case to restart inetd?

It wasn't being told which sockets to open. I copied cyrus.conf.dist over it, now I'm getting something else to work through. Hopefully I'll be able to progress on my own.
